This week: The Sultan

This is the first of a series of situation comedies, shown recently on BBC Wales, featuring a character who emerged from a serial, A Matter of Degree, written some years ago by Elaine Morgan. Lil lives alone in a small town in a South Wales valley, and Elaine Morgan believes that women like her could be found in every small South Wales town and village. 'The problems that beset her are everybody's problems', she says, 'and in most cases she manages, by a mixture of directness, doggedness, and guile, to come out on top in the end'.
